Why Kingdom Hearts III can trigger motion sickness
Combat can get crowded fast. Can I Play That's 2019 review says the cinematics can get very chaotic and the screen can get cluttered. Keyblade transformations come with swooping camera angles unless you choose a calmer version in Config. Attractions, attacks styled on Disney rides, add more motion on top. You can cut most of these animations, and the camera can follow you on its own or stay under your control.

| Attraction and summon cinematics | In-game settings | Turn them off in the options menu to cut those camera sequences out of combat. |
